Dear Farther

My health has been very poor &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I am now up and about but I need much rest

Money is very tight here now that no cheese is sold &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp next month should be better

My Business is increasing all of the time &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp but I need more money to carry it on &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I paid $20 for a license the other day &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Suzi and Joey both go to school now &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp they learn so very fast
